About the course
In my opinion, the model of Engage, Empower and Enhance increase the students understanding when doing experiment. The catchy title of this model attracts the students to know more about the experiment. Engage is the technique used to get the ideas of student through the related picture, situation with same concept of the title of the experiment and some questions. Compare to traditional method of conducting experiment, students can think more advances and understand the concept the scientific theory that represent by situation used in Engage.
Empower is planning and do the experiment by showing the picture on how experiment being conducted. Empower also include part of result and discussion with the question regarding the experiment that being conduct. By this, student can get the image on how to conduct the experiment.
Enhance is use the situation of real routine life that enable student to relate the concept of experiment n real life. For example, in the topic heart rate, Enhance can be including the situation of before and after playing badminton, ask student on the differences in their heart rate.
One of the reasons why I think the model of Engage, Empower and Enhance is this model use data logging to record the result. For experiment that need longer time to show the result, we can use the data logging. We just only have to connect the sensor of data logging to computer to record the reading. But there are some difficulties when implementing this model. Data logging is very sensitive and easily run error.
In my course, ICT in Biology, we have presented an experiment on data logging, simulation and modeling. From there I realize that data logging, simulation and modeling have more advantages compare to traditional way of conducting experiment. Students will gain more knowledge. For example, by use data logging, simulation and modeling the experiment can be repeated, paused and stop at any time. Last time, students only depend on textbook.
But there are some problems in integrating the use of data logging, simulation and modeling in the classroom. One of it is teacher think that use data logging, simulation and modeling in their experiment is troublesome and wasting time as many of them do not know how to use it. Besides, student themselves don’t want to explore the advantages of data logging, simulation and modeling in experiment and prefer use the traditional method. Next, not all experiments are suitable using this data logging, simulation and modeling method. The students will loss interesting.
Hence, the mind of these teacher and student should be changed for better learning process. Teacher should be more expose to the use of data logging, simulation and modeling in teaching. Then, use more experiment using data logging, simulation and modeling so the student can realize that this method is easier to understand.

Tecnology In My Classroom!!
Technology in My Classroom? Yikes!
View more presentations from jgerst1111.
Most teachers do not like to use technology as teaching apparatus. This is because some of them didn’t know how to use computer and they think it is wasting time. Hence they rather use the old method to teach students which is only use textbook.
Actually using technology in classroom is better ways to teach student in term to improve their understanding and knowledge.
How to integrate technology:
1. Research
2. Creating a website

My Teaching Philosophy
Education should be fit for every child in this world, not only for richer and genius. This is because education is not only to teach our children to become successful in life but also a useful person in this society. We as teacher have the responsibility to ensure all the children have the changes to get education and their life based on morality. No one should be less for this change even the poorer or disable.
To reach this goal, we must have a good infrastructure and facilities like computer, lab and learning environment classroom. As a teacher, I have determined to take responsibilities to educate, motivate and ensure all the children do not miss their education.
